- Sarah M., Current Rural Carrier

  2. Load the Vehicle: Pack your personal right-hand-drive vehicle (or provided LLV) to the brim with packages and mail, maximizing space for your expansive route.
  3. Hit the Open Road: Navigate country roads, agricultural zones, and winding paths, delivering directly to curbside boxes and selling stamps to remote customers.

Why Rural? You operate with total independence. Once you leave the station, you manage your own pace. Plus, you receive a generous, tax-free Equipment Maintenance Allowance (EMA) if you use your personal vehicle!
